Who Says Accountants Are Boring?

Well, basically everyone.

But if you live in Canada, you’ve probably seen those TV ads that are trying their very best to convince us all otherwise. Here’s an example.

To be fair, in an increasingly complex world, having skills with money, data, fraud, and regulation is probably a good way to set yourself up with a job for life, and that probably sounds pretty exciting to many people.

And now, thanks to applied AI technology, there’s more good news on the horizon.

The Automated Audit

Probably one of the most tedious aspects of accountancy is the much maligned audit.

Trolling though mountains of ledgers and books to spot mistakes, both deliberate and accidental, while business folks look on in dread is a tough sell for anyone.

So it was inevitable that someone would come along an apply machine learning to this repetitive, data-intensive process, and in Canada, that person is Eli Fathi, the CEO of Ottawa’s MindBridge AI.

A lifelong serial entrepreneur with an admirable track record that includes 7 startups, 3 exits, and hundreds of inspired employees, Eli is a true gem of the Canadian tech sector.

“This is an industry that has notchanged for the last hundred years and we are really transforming these professions calledaccountants and auditors with artificial intelligence. “
